While most people have been getting excited about the pre-announcement of Opera Mobile 9.5, the hugely popular (and free) little sister, Opera Mini 4, has just had a big back-end (i.e. the bit that does the work) upgrade, which (among other changes, listed below) should improve browsing speed by (up to) another 20%.
How come comments were disabled for the Opera Mobile 9.5 story by the way?
Anyway, that was good news too. Mobile looks very good. I hope it won't be sluggish, and I hope it will be deployed on Symbian very soon - I have a feeling the initial release was on Windows Mobile only. I can't think of the logic behind that cack-handed decision if it's true, given Symbian's vastly bigger deployment numbers (order of magnitude I think?). Very strange indeed. Opera Mobile 8.65 is a real dog compared to the Nokia Browser, so here's very much hoping 9.5 is way better. If it can do Google Maps with custom route overlays I'll be well pleased!
